The more I read about Ruben Amorim the more I think INEOS should go all out to get him into Old Trafford. He sounds like a very humble, likeable bloke who is always trying to learn from his peers in the game. Apparently very intelligent with excellent English.

A lot of fans probably thought the same about ETH before he joined.
I am past the point of caring about who is at the helm next season. As long as we avoid Southgate and clear the toxicity and uninterested players from the changing room, I will give anyone a chance.

We have empirical evidence that no manager will succeed without a change in the management structure, a process which is at its very beginning. With the Euros in the summer, time for transfer activity will be limited. We are not going to be in the ECL, which will be a turn off. If ETH is fired at the end of the season then the new manager will have virtually no time to give his input into the type of players he would like to see. If ETH is staying, which seems unlikely, then he is the one who will be influencing the new transfers. If the club doesn't trust in his ability given a new structure around him, then that would be a mistake. Add to that FFP issues. So, I think one way or another, this transfer window is going to be very difficult to make an enormous amount of squad headway, and patience will be needed, whoever the manager is.
(And yes, there was a pretty big contingent of supporters here advocating for Ten Hag two years ago) .

We've had some massive managers in the last 10 years who've done the lot, and they got swallowed up and failed miserably. All any new guy is going to do is go back to the start and add a couple of players in his own vision, except this time he'll have ten Hag's misfits in the world's worst jigsaw as well as all the others.
Surely we have to see where we are after one more window. We can expect 3-4 in at least and anywhere up to 8-9 out I reckon. Let's see where we are once we're back at full strength with those transfers in/ out.

Spenno we have had some names but when they joined us none were at their peake. Jose at Chelsea first time would have been miles better for us. LVG a massive name in football. but we got him way after his best. Ole is a player legend, management career is nothing really. altho what he did with us in the PL with the team he had and the dressing room egos. he did amazing for us.
I would have liked conte. We've got no ronnie, no pogba so I think his psychotic ways would work with our team.
